Der Mann mit Luftballons: Ideale! Kauft Ideale!

Wisdom to give away: Who doesn't love Christian Morgenstern and his works - Hesse was among his followers, as were Tucholsky and Kempowksi. With enigmatic wit, melancholy or cutting edge, he took aim at people and their times, and to this day his lines have lost none of their topicality. This volume of aphorisms brings together a multitude of Morgenstern's great moments, while the original illustrations by the artist Doreen Steinke offer surprising and always independent perspectives on them. In the end, one does not know what to admire more: the clownery or the profound wisdom, Kurt Tucholsky once said about Morgenstern's work. And there is nothing to add to that.
